Watching that French try TMO replay makes me wonder why they don't have super high frame rate cameras covering the angles.

If the game ends on 7-15, England will end 4th: France 3rd with points diff of +30, England on +29.

From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

Lawes is a master of deliberately committing early like that.

Thought that was OK. Very close to being late, but he timed it well enough.

Watch it again - he takes a step after the ball is released - he powers into it.

Remember someone saying Lawes is world class at hitting outhalves just after they've passed the ball, living up to his rep there :pac:

Lawes mistimes that by half a sec or hits even a little higher and there would be a serious injury and instant red

Lawes, completely deliberate and intent to hurt. Just, just about, in time though

Not called Le crunch for nothing. What a tackle!

Edit. And for all those calling for a red card would u say the same if that had been POC or toner?? Fantastic tackle.
